Make an eco-friendly touchdown this weekend!

Super Bowl Sunday is two days away! As you get set to watch the game enjoying a few of your favorite snacks and beverages, the City’s Solid Waste Management Department (SWMD) wants to encourage residents to score an eco-friendly touchdown this weekend by recycling their aluminum cans, glass bottles, and plastic bottles in their blue cart.

Most likely during the weekend’s festivities there will be a good number of people visiting your home so why make it difficult for them to remember what belongs in the recycling cart versus what belongs in the garbage cart. Instead, make the right play call and declare your blue recycling cart the end zone for plastic bottles, glass bottles and aluminum cans only.

According to the Aluminum Association, recycling two cans during the game will allow an individual to save the energy required to watch all the pre-game, game and post-game coverage.

Be sure to cause no penalty flags to be thrown your way by not placing plastic bags, metal caps from bottles or Styrofoam™ in the blue cart. Make the right call and be a San Antonio Super Bowl recycling champion. For more tips on recycling, follow the City’s Solid Waste Management Department on Facebook.
